Can't Let Go - A NYC Pinto Fanmix
I posted this on ontd_pinto on Monday, but I figured I'd mirror it on my own journal so it can be found in an unlocked post as well.
So here it 'tis, Pinto's torrid New York love story (or the one in my head, anyway) told via a romantic movie soundtrack. :D The lovely suave_badass is responsible for the awesome front cover art because she's awesome and can do magical things with photoshop.
All the songs actually kind of made a storyline, so I decided to include a little one liner with each one to explain why it's there. I was going to do an all-out fic, but I'm lazy.

01. Bloc Party - I Still Remember (lyrics)
Press tour '09: In which Chris wants Zach to make a move.
You should have asked me for it
I would have been brave
You should have asked me for it
How could I say no?
And our love could have soared
Over playgrounds and rooftops
Every park bench screams your name
I kept your tie
I'd have gone wherever you wanted
02. Ben Lee - Is This How Love's Supposed to Feel? (lyrics)
Summer of Love: lots of flirting, touching, and accidental kisses. Could it be amore?
You kissed me slow
It happened way too fast
I told myself
There's no way it would last
Is this how love's supposed to feel?
03. Aqualung - Easier to Lie (lyrics)
Chris distances himself, because he's terrified of his own feelings and what others will say about him.
To bear the weight and push into the sky
It's easier to lie, easier to lie
And honestly to look you in the eye
It's easier to lie, easier to lie
To fill the space, the space you made for me
Try to be the one you want, try to be the way you want
04. Rooney - When Did Your Heart Missing (lyrics)
Zach's is tired of Chris' bullshit, and doesn't understand why he's being a complete tool.
I meant every word I said
I never was lying when we talked in bed
I'm retracing every step in my head
What did I miss back then?
I was so, so misled
I'm waiting, waiting for nothing
You're leaving, leaving me hanging
When did your heart go missing?
05. Snow Patrol - You Could Be Happy (lyrics)
Zach decides to move to New York, Chris regrets and misses his bff.
Is it too late to remind you how we were
And not our last days of silent screaming blur
Most of what I remember makes me sure
I should've stopped you from walking out the door
You could be happy I hope you are
You made me happier than I'd been by far
Somehow everything I own smells of you
And for the tiniest moment it's all not true
06. The Bird and the Bee - I'm a Broken Heart (lyrics)
Zach goes on nice long walks in the city and pines...erm, for Pine.
Cry as much as I want to
Weep, I know I can't have you
I wipe my tears away, away
Wish, wish for the summer
Want, to pull over under
I wipe my tears away, away
07. Landon Pigg - Can't Let Go (lyrics)
Chris buys a clue and hops a plane to NYC.
Well you're the closest thing I have
To bring up in a conversation
About a love that didn't last
But I could never call you mine
Cause I could never call myself yours
And if we were really meant to be
Well then we just defied destiny
Its not that our love died
Just never really bloomed
08. The Boy Least Likely To - Be Gentle with Me (lyrics)
The happy park song!
So just be gentle with me
(I'm not as young as I was)
And I'll be gentle with you
I'm not as brave as I thought
'Cause my heart gets broken so easily.
So just be gentle, be gentle with me.
09. Rufus Wainwright - Vibrate (lyrics)
After their appearance at the Monogamy after party, Zach waits for Chris to call.
So call me
Call me in the morning, call me in the night
So call me
Call me anytime you like
My phone's on vibrate
For you, for you
10. Cary Brothers - Ride (lyrics)
Chris is going back to L.A., but Zach wants him to stay.
You are everything I wanted
The scars of all I'll ever know
If I told you you were right
Would you take my hand tonight?
If I told you the reasons why
Would you leave your life and ride?
11. Finley Quaye - Dice (lyrics)
Chris returns and kisses Zach in the middle of the street. Paps fail to capture the moment.
I was crying over you
I am smiling, I think of you
Where your gardens have no walls
Breathe in the air if you care, you compare, don't say farewell
Nothing can compare
To when you roll the dice and swear your love's for me
12. Counting Crows - Colorblind (lyrics)
Because every romantic movie has to have lovemaking music.
I am covered in skin
No one gets to come in
Pull me out from inside
I am folded and unfolded and unfolding
13. The Postal Service - Such Great Heights (lyrics)
Happy ending! Fangirls profit!
They will see us waving from such great
Heights, 'come down now,' they'll say
But everything looks perfect from far away,
'come down now,' but we'll stay
Let me know if you have any trouble downloading the mix.
Also, this has little to do with the post above except that the song is "That's How You Know" which is from Enchanted and which is set in central park, so whatever, it counts and this is where I shall pimp it, so there. A TOS K/S VID TO THIS SONG EXISTS, LIFE=COMPLETE. Plus it's edited very well, and it had me grinning like a loon all the way through.
